1mb = 120-130 kbps, so if those are the speeds you are getting, yu are already maxed out.
You'd need to get a faster internet subscription to get higher speeds.

Look at the link i posted...
And there is no "FASTEST" torrent client.
Speeds depend on your internet speeds and what torrent sites you use.
Now, go read the article i linked to, it has all thhe info you could possibly need! :)

xx/1mbit should be your setting, IF you have true 1mbit *equal speeds up and download*

Well, is your upload speed as high as your download ? because it is asking you to tell it what your approximate upload speed is.

By god, how much more...
THERE ARE NO ACCELERATORS FOR ANY BITTORRENT CLIENTS, PERIOD.
You can find the rest of the answers in all the other threads in this forum.

LOL......The sites don't do anything the uploaders are the people hat carry the file,and once you finish you will become a seeder....If there are more seeders than peers than you will most likely get your maxed out speeds
